Planetarium
To parade the stars, planets,
moon, and sun before Nebraskars,
one of the largest planetarium
theaters in the Great Plains has
been presented as a gift to the
University.
The donor is Ralph
Mueller
'
Cleveland manufacturer and 1893
University graduate.
The gift, made available through
the University Foundation, was ac
cepted last Jane by the Board of
Regents. It includes Lhe equipmcc:
and the housing, totaling about
$61,000.
An addition, with a 31-foot dome,
will be constructed on the south
west corner of Morrill Hall, as
part of the University State Mu
seum. It will be called "Ralph
MueCer Theater of the Stars."
The planetarium theater is the
only one of its kind in Nebraska.
And in this region, the Ft. Worth,
Tex., planetarium, housed under a
29-foot dome, compares with the
Nebraska structure.
Dr. C. Bertrand Schukz. Muse
um director, said the theater will
seat 125 persons.

Dr. Schultz said five public and
10 school programs are planned
for each week. The theater will be
self sustaining with operational
costs covered by a very nominal
charge for its use.
The instrument consists of a co
ordinated set of projectors which
show the stars, planets, sun, and
moon and the reference lines of
Meridian and Coordinates which
assist in discussing time, position,
and motion.
Dramatic illusions include pro
ducing the Milky Way, and a sun
set or sun rise at the proper hori
zon point for the current season,
Dr. Schultz explained. The instru
ment also produces a close ap

brilliance among the bright st?rs

cars with the exception of five or
10. One of the sorority's problems
is the fact that many outsiders
park in the Chi Omega lot, Miss
Holt commented.
One of the eight sororities who
have no parking difficulties, Alpha
Chi Omega, stated that they have
a similar problem of keeping out
side cars from their lot. According
to Ruthie Gilbert, the Alpha
Chi's presently have a large lot
available adjacent to their house.
This space will eventually be filled
by an annex, Miss Gilbert added.
Anne Pickett, member of Kappa
Alpha Theta, said that her house
was having difficulty preventing
outsiders from parking in their lot
until a sticker system was de
vised. "Our lot takes care of 20-25
cars and handles the situation
pretty well," Miss Pickett stated.
Alpha Phi Sorority has no space
for house cars except a driveway
according to Martha Crocker. Miss
Crocker reported that the Phis
must compete with surrounding
houses for parking space in the
streets.
A fifteen car-lot handles most
of the Pi Beta Phi cars according
to Ann Wade. "We still have trou
ble keeping other people from
parking in our lot and driveway,"
Miss Wade stated.
Another house located on S street
wh has difficulty finding adequate i
parking facilities is Alpha Oir.icron

Dr. Weaver
Cites Value
Of Teaching
Support of education in the Unit
ed States is "our primary invest
ment in freedom". Dr. John Wea
ver, dean of the University Grad
uate College, told the Nebraska
Cooperative School Study Council
here Saturday.
Dr. Weaver called upon the
educators to be "bold enough to
tell 'the people' in clear and un
mistable language the magnitude
of their obligations to education."
The graduate College Dean said
that the present cost of all public
edication is less than 2 per cent
of our national income. Russia, in
contrast, he said, devotes 5 per cent
of its national income to education.
"Our paltry 2 per cent is less
than our annual liquor and tobacco
bill," the dean added.
The group was told that salaries
must be improved "if present in
structional staffs are to be pre
served and if competent new tal
ent is to be recruited."
Seaking of the Russian threat to
this country, he said, "The So
viets arep playing for keeps. An
experienced upper-grade teacher
in Russia is about the same as
that of an experienced physician."
The cause is such as to justify
any sacrifice . . . and we have not
Weaver said.
Union To Initiate
Dance Instruction
Free dancing lessons sponsored
by the Union Dance Committee
will be offered to interested stu
dents beginning Tuesday and con
tinuing October 8, 22, and 29.
The lessons will be held in the
Union Ballroom from 7 to 8 p.m.
Instruction will be furnished by
the Fred Astaire Dance Studio.
"It is a chance for students to
learn new steps or to improve
what they already know," stated
Sally Downs, Dance Committee
chairman.
Alpha Xi Delta spent $20,000 in
the construction of a parking lot
directly east of their house ac
cording to Sara Jones. The newly
built lot has a capacity for 35 to
40 cars. During football games the
area sometimes has up to 100 cars
in it, Miss Jones stated.
Dee Dillman, member of Kappa
Delta Sorority, reported that ber
house has approximately 30 car
owners with no place to park other
than tiie street areas.
Delta Delta Delta Sorority has
"totally inadequate parking space"
according to Karen Dryden. The
house, Miss Dryden said, has had
an increase in the number of car
owners which now number 25 and
the lot has a capacity for only 10.
Members of Delta Gamma So
rority have no parking space of
their own and park in the girls
dorm lot according to Nancy
Copeland. Although the house re
ports no great increase in the num
ber of car owners, the Delta Gam
mas still maintain an average of
20 cars, Miss Copeland estimated.
"We have only a little driveway"
to cope with the parking problem,
Jeannie Cole of Gamma Phi Beta
Sorority reported, and "we get
plenty of parking tickets." Miss
Cole thought it "was up to the
University" to provide more space.
Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorotity
maintains their own parking lot
which provides enough space for
house cars according to Marilyn
Heck. Miss Heck feels, however,
that every University student re
gardless of residence should re
ceive a parking sticker which en
titles him to park anywhere in
student area.
